Durians

Singaporeans love durians a lot. In 2013, Singapore Kindness Movement organized a Durian Mobilization which attracted 300 people which consumed more than 1000kg of durians! In Singapore, durians are usually found in Geylang. D24 durians are simply normal. Musang King is one of the most expensive of them all. It has a sweet taste with only a little bit of bitterness. Trying durians is just like trying what Singaporeans like. After eating durians you'll feel heat so you have to eat mangosteens.

Even though we cannot bring durians on public transport, Singaporeans still say that durians are our national fruit.
